NOWM Thank Yous:
Stephan von Lubeck wished to thank the following groups for making the event run smoothly, in no particular order: Darkyard, Three Roses, Nosse Eldesar, Avalon, Bork, The Goat Clan, Furies Keep, Great Dark Horde, Ephraim's Household, Arminteur, March of the Marches, Falcon's Quarry, Redspears, Flaming Griffon, Vicountess Katerina and Sir Miles Household, Fellowship of the Oaken Blade, Bloodjack, Vlads.
He also extended a special thanks to the people who you may ntoknow are responsible every year for making NOWM the fun even tit is, Celeste, Durr and Vesefelod. Without them the event would be missing many of the key elements tha tmake it an entertaining event for everyone.
He personally thanked Baroness Seadna for not guarding her pickles, Lady Branwen Nihodhorian and Lord Nial for insuring he had enough to drink and Lady Akizuki for having a very entertaining hakama.
Anyone with reciepts please get a copy to Steve or let steve see them before you take them to the exchequer, he needs them for his report.
Anyone who sees Master Eric please thank him for ensuring we had an event. Unfortunately his skills were needed as someone got hurt on the battlefield.
If you're thinking of running NOWM next year, Steve has 36 Tiki Torches he'd love to give you.
The Arrows for the Greenwood company have not been shipped, you can still pledge your bow and add your arrow to the effort. Every arrow counts for the archery point, one more archer can make the difference and we only have one ally for war so far so it's important that we all compete in any way we can.
There will be a follow-up staff meeting/recap/recoup at Steve's house a week from sunday. See Steve or Matheus for directions.
As we had a successful event, Steve presented a token of gratitude to our hosts, Baron Sir Ephraim and Baroness Madelaine - a garden gnome.
(*whew!*)
Other staff thank-yous:
Matheus thanked everyone who helped him in the kitchen, especially Eldred and Clariel who were indespensible and Lady Bronwen Elvina who kept him going with well placed liquid repast.
Timothy thanked everyone who made security run smoothly and easily, Cowboy, Taylor, Fitzranulf, Donasian and others.
Rutgur thanked those who helped on the field especially whoever cleaned up the marshals area.
Classes were not well attended, but Edward Brackenburye extended his sincere gratitude to instructors for making sure there were classes and giving their time. He's got plans for next year. muhahaha.
Chuck thanked those who helped with archery, especially Elaine and Jared. There were 3 archery competitions at the event, won by Kara, Olivia and Sinara Maria respectively.
Alienor thanked Alys and Vashti for heralding court, Katerine du Val for her help minding the table at heralds point and those who did crying throughout the day especially Katerine ferch G. and Achall. On a personal note she wanted to thank the members of her household, all in attendance served on staff in some capacity and she's very proud of their efforts.
Katerine ferch G. thanked the servers, in particular Lyonnete for taking control of drinks entirely, Milesent and Elena for handling high table, James, Angela, Siggurd and three young gentles from another group who kept the food moving smoothly.
Lady Akizuki (Sarah Rex) has the lost and found, see her if you're missing anything!
Snowden wanted to thank the rapier marshals, Gunther and Ulrich from South Oaken, for helping and the Novice tourney was won by our own Jackie.
Darius thanked waterbearers especially Francesca for bringing hose and cooler and Yseult for providing gatorade. He also wanted to thank Celeste and those who helped set up the Hafla.
Chisato thanked those who helped clean the kitchen, especially Siggurd.
Elaine wanted to note: this was James Barkley's first event running the archery list as a marshal in training and he did very well.
Editor's note: If I missed a thank you or mangled someone's name, please correct me. Y'all talk fast!
